Bush left behind her loving husband George H.W. Bush as well as many of her children and grandchildren.
Happiest birthday Great Ganny. Glad we spent it with you. 91•3
One of Barbara’s grandchildren Jenna Bush Hager is still having a tough time coping with her granny’s death, and often lovingly remembers her.
Now that holiday season is approaching, Jenna is feeling extremely sentimental as this Christmas is going to be the first one the family spends without Barbara.
Y’all, my friend @claiborneswansonfrank took this photo of four generations, some of my most precious humans for her new book Mother and Child. Out now @assouline
Bush Hager also revealed on her show a holiday tradition that Barbara started for her entire family, and it absolutely breaks our hearts:
She started this tradition, which I just love. She needlepointed stockings for my girls, they have one that will be hung on the chimney with care. And then she actually stockpiled, she knew she was sick, so she did as many as she could, she needlepointed as many as she could, so that grandbabies, great-grandbabies that came after she passed could have a stocking from her.
Sending love to the ENFORCER on her 92nd! Your humor and strength never cease to amaze. Hope you like this post (or I will hear about it!) ❤️❤️
This tradition sounds absolutely lovely and we’re happy for the family that they have such a warm memory about their granny.
Barbara always looked ahead
The former first lady knew she was sick, so she made sure to pay attention to every single one of her loved one and give them something to remember her by.
